Condition

Not laid down, the sheet is hinged to the mount along the upper edge. There are old mat marks and a faint crease towards the edges of the sheet which are covered by the mat, and therefore not presently visible framed. This work is in good overall condition, and is presented framed and glazed with a black mat. The colours in the catalogue illustration are somewhat warmer overall than in reality.
